NOTE: ANY PROBLEMS LISTED HERE NO LONGER EXIST!!!

it was corrected. As long as you have a recent enough build of the program,
you will not encounter the problem. Here is how
to check your build number.
19-May-08 Build 150
A minor bug has been corrected in image storage. If you are using a build of Cardbox 3.0, or the Cardbox Client, earlier than Build 4266, AND you are storing images attached to a record, AND those images are documents as opposed to pictures, AND those documents have large areas of white space, AND you later rebuild the database, the white areas may be partly replaced by dark solid rectangles. If you have upgraded Cardbox 3.0 or the Cardbox Client to Build 4266, you will not see this problem.
31-Jan-08 Build 147
A bug has been corrected in the Internet Backup feature of the Cardbox Server, which automatically backs up databases to Amazon's S3 service. The bug meant that if an error occurred in Amazon S3, requiring the Cardbox Server to retry the transmission of a file, the Cardbox Server sometimes stopped attempting any further Internet backups.
18-Jul-07 Build 145
There is no change to the Cardbox Server itself since Build 144.
There is a purely cosmetic change to the Cardbox Server control in the Windows Control Panel. When setting up backup schedules the Backup or Amazon S3 pages, the preview of scheduled backup dates and times flickered as you made changes to the schedule. That flicker has been removed.
13-Mar-07 Build 143
The Cardbox Server installer has been labelled so that Windows Vista recognises it as a program installer and asks the user for permission to run it.
11-Jul-06 Build 138

1-Feb-06 Build 134
Bulk indexing (for example, if you are importing many heavily indexed records into a database) is now considerably faster.
